Phase 3 Consultation opens 31 May 2023 until 23 Aug.
This third phase of the Permitted Development Rights (PDR) Review has a close focus on new and extended PDR for domestic and non-domestic renewable energy equipment. The proposals (inter alia) would streamline the planning process for various zero and low carbon technologies, such as solar panels and heat pumps, and for certain flues.They also cover replacement windows for domestic and non-domestic properties.
There is a strong element of 'community relevance' here.
The full list of areas covered in the consultation is:
- Domestic renewables: solar panels; air, water and ground source heat pumps; wind turbines; and the removal of PDR for certain flues.
- Non-domestic renewables: solar panels; solar canopies in qualifying parking areas; and air, ground and water source heat pumps.
- Replacement windows for domestic and non-domestic properties.
- Electricity network infrastructure.
- Reverse vending machines.
- Temporary use of land for shooting ranges.
